every single time it updates Apptivate. Is this a bug due to homebred-cask-upgrade or due to Apptivate? I already wrote them an email about this. If so is there any way I can temporarily disable autoupdating Apptivate? There does not seem to be any active development on it anymore.

The reason is, that you use -facy which always (the f option) force reinstalls the latest apps. Since there is no version of the app (Apptivate does not provide versioning in the download link) there is no way to determine that the version changed.

So it is partially their fault (they don't provide version) and yours (you use force reinstall option every time).

There is nothing we can do here.
